Just 15 months ago, New York Times editor Joe Kahn downplayed the issue of democracy’s survival: “It’s our job to cover the full range of issues that people have. ... Democracy is one of them. But it’s not the top one — immigration happens to be the top, and the economy and inflation is the second.”

Gov. Pritzker: “This is not about fighting crime. This is about Donald Trump searching for any justification to deploy the military in a blue city, in a blue state, to try and intimidate his political rivals…There is no emergency in Chicago that calls for armed military intervention.”

Narrative power of NYT front page told American media that Claudine Gay was more important than Trump's fascism! Powerful and biased "centrist" editors obsessed with praise and approval from their elite: other old white men, Ivies, macho police officers, conservative soldiers, CEOs, billionaires

NYT editors put "Claudine Gay" in "top 5 featured on the New York Times homepage Dec 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 22, 25" While they put Trump calling for Constitution's "termination" on page 15 and his chief of staff's "tyrant" warning on 12 Christopher Rufo openly bragged about the plans:

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Gov. Pritzker: “Earlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump…asked for me personally to say, ‘Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city?’ Instead, I say, ‘Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. You are neither wanted here nor needed here.’”

Weet niet hoeveel Maurice-interpretatie hier in zit, maar schokkend dat de PVV, de partij die nog nooit iets voor elkaar heeft gekregen, nog steeds bovenaan staat
